Balloons, Renovation and IKEA


When I went outside this morning the neighbours had balloons on their door! What a fun way to let people know they had a birthday today.

A picture of the renovation in our street. There are no gates and scaffolding around our house yet, but there will be soon.

We went to our house to do some last chores before leaving it to the construction workers.
Bye, bye house. See you after the renovation.

This afternoon we went to the IKEA store as my owner and her OtherHalf needed to replace some things.

there was lots to do at the IKEA store.
I talked to some animals living there.



I played with this really cool wooden crane.

I spotted this great traffic sign sticker on the floor.

I did some climbing on this counting rack thingie.

And found these cool plush vegetables!

And even a plush knife and cake!

Having a chat with a box full of plushies.

All in all the IKEA store was lots of fun and I hope we'll go there again some time.

A Card and a Book


We got our first mail at the temporary house: This flowery card was send to us to wish us a good stay here.

And in all the stress of packing I forgot to show you this: A Steampunk book I won over at vvB32 Reads. The book is about an automaton called Mattie. I read the first couple of chapters and sofar I think it's very intriguing.

And look! It's signed.
Thanks vvB32 and Ekaterina.

Work and lots of Plant Spam


After all the packing and moving it was back to work! I took a nap at work to catch up on missed sleep because of the move.

After work we went for a walk and we saw these beautiful thistles.

There was some kind of moth or butterfly fluttering around the thistles.

I had to get a closer look ofcourse.

Next I spotted this giant Hogweed!

It was so big I could sit on top of it, but it was a little uncomfortable.

So I sat on a leaf of the hogweed and that was a much better seat.

We're slowly getting there.


A fun postcard I found when packing.

And the livingroom of our temporary house is slowly starting to look like a livingroom.

I'm Online Again!!

We've got internet again!
I've been very busy helping my owner and her otherHalf with moving house and I must confess we forgot to take pictures most of the time, but here's an update:

While packing we sometimes found fun things, like these cool umbrella thingies.

When moving day came, me and the other animals hid in a bag so we wouldn't get packed in a box or get lost in other scary ways and we were carried safely to the temporary home by my owner.

A view on the street outside.

Moving day was both hot and wet. It rained really hard, but still it was around 30 degrees Celsius.

We stripped our (old) home from carpet and stuff. It looks really weird to see our home so empty.

It was really hot all last week and this week, so we made lots of trips to the store to make sure we had enough to drink. On one of those trips I saw this cool Yeti!

And lastly a picture of our temporary hang out spot in the temporary house.

Going MIA for a bit

Moving Day is creeping up and there's still lots to do, so this is my last post for a couple of days.

I hope to be back soon after the move.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Me, Easter Domo and a bunny


I couldn't help posing for a picture with one of Beanie's lovely mail-art cards as a background.

And now for something else:
Easter Domo made a new friend, a small, fluffy, purple bunny and he wanted to introduce his new friend to you all.

Easter Domo is very happy with his new friend and loves to pet and cuddle the bunny.




And remember:
If I suddenly disappear for a few days it means my owner and her OtherHalf have disconnected the computer, which may be any day now, but I hope they leave it till Sunday. When it does happen though: No Fear, I'll be back as soon as the computer is hooked up again in our temporary home.
